Zhu Jianjun (simplified Chinese: 朱见浚; traditional Chinese: 朱見浚; 11 July 1456 – 16 August 1527) was the seventh son of Emperor Yingzong of Ming. His mother was one of his father's concubines, Consort Chen. He was the first Prince of Ji (吉王).
Zhu Jianjun was born on 11 July 1456, during the time when Emperor Yingzong was under house arrest in the Southern Palace. In 1457, Yingzong was restored to the throne, and on 30 March of the same year, he was given the title of Prince of Ji. On 25 October 1477,[1] he was sent to his princedom in Changsha prefecture.
Zhu Jianjun was a man of strong moral character who constantly reminded himself to do good deeds.[citation needed] He made a visit to the Yuelu Academy to explore the remains of ancient sages and had a portrait of one of them made, along with a copy of the Book of Documents, which he often looked at. In his free time, he enjoyed writing and also read Jia Dafu Xinshu (賈大傅新書; presumably referring to Jia Yi's Jiazi Xinshu 賈子新書).
After ruling for fifty years, he died on 16 August 1527 at the age of 72. He was given the posthumous name "Jian" (簡). Unfortunately, his heir, Zhu Youfu (朱祐枎), died early and was given the posthumous name "Dao" (悼). His grandson, Zhu Houfu, succeeded him as the Prince of Ji two years later.
His daughter, Princess Shanhua (善化郡主), married Shi Ce (史策).
